YAOS, Yet Another OS/2 Shell v. 1.9.2 (29/11/2013, Dave Saville)	Readme/What's new	New in release (v1.9.2) ---------------------------- Fixed - Problem with spaces in actual command path Fixed - Problem with file name completion when previous command had a ~ Fixed - Problem with CTRL-<left> not backspacing on start of word Fixed - Tab completion lost end of text if done other than at end of line Updated - Internal help New - Code page switching support added - Thanks to Steven Levine for help. New - Some (experimental) wildcard support added. wildcard - shows the state (on \| off ) wildcard on - turns it on wildcard off - turns it off NB The wildcard expansion is limited by the system's maximum command line length. So if you get an "out of memory" message then the best thing to do would be to use one program to find what you want and then pipe through xargs to the program you need that does not understand wildcards. ls -1 *.c \| xargs -n 1 -i{} wc {}
